About this listen

Nothing that is secret can remain secret forever. But is it possible that some crimes are better left undiscovered? Join Holmes and Watson as they travel from London to storm-wracked Bedfordshire, where the great detective finds himself uncovering the grisly truth concerning a half-century old murder.

Good story spoilt by poor narrator

Once again proving that the right narrator makes an audiobook, this chap really needs to learn to take a breath and pause occasionally for effect. Even at 0.8 speed it is like he has been asked to condense the story into an hour less than is actually required. It spoils what would otherwise be a good listen.

Good story, very odd reading

Would you try another book written by David Marcum or narrated by Time Winters?

Written be David Marcum yes, read by Time Winters, NO

What other book might you compare Sherlock Holmes and a Quantity of Debt to, and why?

Other good Holmes pastiches

How did the narrator detract from the book?

An odd reading which appears to have been edited very badly. Timing of the delivery was ruined by what sounded like gap removal or compression in many places making it a very difficult listen. The two introductions read by the author were also weirdly robotic in delivery with hardly any gaps between sentences. Also, the accents were pretty appalling.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

The quality of this recording is not up to standard although the story is quite a good one. I would have thought Audible would have rejected this book on the quality of the reading (or what was done to it after recording).

Very good

Very good, very entertaining- I really enjoyed the journey. Narration very good, with the exception of some very odd pronunciations of certain words, including Lestrade, mausoleum and debauched. Plus the emphasis on some words is on the wrong syllable… Very strange no one in editing picked up on this and assisted the narrator in getting it right. Presumably the narrator is not English… Enjoyable experience though…

Excellent book!

The book started like a predictable short tale, then another, and another. They slowly came together as one long Sherlockian case. Very enjoyable! Highly recommend.
